荒漠齿肋赤藓(Syntrichia caninervis)非结构性碳水化合物含量对植株脱水的响应

苔藓结皮作为生物土壤结皮演替的最高阶段和生物量的最主要贡献者,具有很强的环境适应性,对维持荒漠地表稳定和改善微环境具有重要作用。非结构性碳水化合物是植物重要的组成部分,能够抵御环境胁迫对植物造成的损伤。目前,荒漠藓类植物非结构碳水化合物对干旱的响应机制尚不清楚。选取古尔班通古特沙漠南缘和腹地苔藓结皮中优势藓类植物齿肋赤藓(Syntrichia caninervis)为研究对象,对其在复水后脱水过程中非结构性碳水化合物含量变化特征进行了分析。结果表明:植株含水量在脱水24 h内下降趋势显著,此后趋于稳定。可溶性总糖、蔗糖、果糖、淀粉含量在脱水1h内显著下降。可溶性总糖、蔗糖、果糖、淀粉含量在脱水2—16 h没有显著的变化。但16—24 h可溶性总糖、蔗糖、果糖、淀粉含量出现显著增加,脱水24—48 h,腹地齿肋赤藓可溶性总糖、蔗糖、果糖、淀粉含量缓慢下降到复水前水平,而南缘可溶性总糖、蔗糖、果糖含量低于复水前水平。复水前不同地区齿肋赤藓非结构性碳水化合物含量存在显著性差异,脱水结束后两个地区齿肋赤藓非结构碳水化合物含量无显著差异。结果说明齿肋赤藓在不同地区其非结构性碳水化合物含量不同,在同一脱复水过程中不同地区齿肋赤藓非结构性碳水化合物含量表现出不同的变化趋势,主要原因是可溶性糖含量对脱水过程中水分胁迫的响应不同。齿肋赤藓脱水过程中非结构性碳水化合物的研究,有助于抗旱非维管植物在干旱环境中从降雨湿润进入干旱过程的适应策略研究。     

植物非结构性碳水化合物代谢及体内转运研究进展

非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)是参与植物能量代谢的主要能量物质,是维持植物自身发育及响应环境调控的重要因子,主要包括单糖、二糖、糖醇、低聚糖和淀粉等。不同NSC成员之间存在相互转化,其代谢和转化由激素和不同环境因子共同调控,其中激素是主导因子。目前NSC的测定方法主要有滴定法、比色法、酶解法、色谱法等,其中色谱法精度高,可同时进行定性和定量分析,目前应用最为广泛。NSC的转运需要糖转运蛋白参与,主要包括单糖转运蛋白(MST)、蔗糖转运蛋白(SUT)和糖外排转运蛋白(SWEET)三类,其中MST和SUT分别负责对各类单糖和蔗糖进行转运,而SWEET既可以对多种单糖进行转运,也参与了蔗糖的运输过程。本文对NSC相关的代谢、定性定量分析及转运调控等基本规律及最新研究进行了总结,以为更好地明确NSC在植物生长发育及环境调控方面的作用和调节机理提供参考。

环境胁迫对海草非结构性碳水化合物储存和转移的影响

非结构性碳水化合物在海草体内的代谢对植株的生长有重要影响。为更好地跟踪非结构性碳水化合物在海草响应环境胁迫中所起的作用,根据国内外最新文献,重点综述了光强、营养盐、盐度、海洋酸化、温度、硫化物和动物摄食等环境胁迫对海草非结构性碳水化合物储存和转移的影响。光限制和富营养化均降低非结构性碳水化合物的合成,并使之从地下根茎转移到叶;而海洋酸化却促进非结构性碳水化合物合成并向地下组织转移;盐度变化改变海草体内渗透压,需要非结构性碳水化合物的新陈代谢来维持;温度通过影响光合作用、呼吸作用、氮代谢来影响非结构性碳水化合物的合成与储存;而硫化物和动物摄食则分别通过抑制海草酶的活性和啃食海草光合组织,减少非结构性碳水化合物的合成和储存。同时指出了一些今后关于海草非结构性碳水化合物的重点研究方向:(1)海草不同生命阶段(种子休眠和萌发,发育,繁殖等)非结构性与结构性碳水化合物之间,以及可溶糖与淀粉之间的转化分配机制;(2)双环境因子或者多环境因子对海草非结构性碳水化合物的耦合作用;(3)非结构性碳水化合物作为海草床生态系统健康评价指标的研究与应用。

Effect of abandonment and plant classification on carbohydrate reserves of meadow plants

We studied the effect of cessation of management on carbohydrate reserves of plants in meadows with different environmental characteristics and plant composition. We recorded storage carbohydrates and seasonal changes for 40 plant species. We asked whether there are differences in responses of carbohydrate reserves in forbs versus graminoids and in plants storing starch versus plants storing osmotically active carbohydrates. We analysed belowground organs before the meadows were mown and at the end of the vegetation season in mown versus recently abandoned plots. Whereas starch and fructans were widely distributed, raffinose family oligosaccharides were the main carbohydrate reserves of the Lamiaceae and Plantago lanceolata. Properties of carbohydrate reserves differed between forbs and graminoids but no difference was found between plants storing starch versus osmotically active carbohydrates. Graminoids had lower carbohydrate concentrations than forbs. We observed a positive effect of mowing on carbohydrate concentrations of graminoids in the dry, calcium-rich meadow and higher seasonal fluctuations of these values in the acid, wet meadow, suggesting that local factors and/or the species pool affect carbohydrate reserves. Despite local conditions, graminoids represent a distinct functional group in meadows from the point of view of their storage economy. We suggest that as well as growth, storage processes should also be considered for understanding the functioning of meadow plant communities.

The Development of Tomato Root System in Relation to the Carbohydrate Status of the Whole Plant

The decrease in growth rate of the root system or complete cessationof its growth in developed, fruit-bearing tomato plants areknown phenomena. It has been suggested that a limited supplyof carbohydrates to this organ, due to its relative weaknessin competition with the flowers and developing fruitlets isthe main cause for these disorders. This theory was tested inthe present study with plants grown in an aerohydroponic systemup to the appearance of 12–13 trusses per plant, 172 dafter transplanting. The changes in the contents of carbohydratesin the various organs during this period were monitored. Theconcentrations of soluble sugars and starch in the leaves increasedwith the increase in truss number. The upper stem was foundto contain more carbohydrates than the lower stem, while nosignificant changes in the concentration of these compoundscould be detected in the roots throughout the experiment. Nevertheless,120–130 d after transplanting, the roots of the plants,bearing five to six trusses and two to three inflorescences,ceased growing and remained at the same or a slightly reducedsize for another 40–50 d. Calculations show that at thestage of five to six trusses, 38 g total soluble sugars and35 g starch were stored in the vegetative organs. Therefore,it seems unlikely that carbon deficiency caused by the competitionwith the reproductive organs (mainly developing fruits), affectedthe root growth. Instead, it is suggested that some other factoris responsible. Lycopersicon esculentumMill; carbohydrates; root growth rate; sink-source relationship; soluble sugars; starch     

中国东北典型森林生态系统植物叶片的非结构性碳水化合物研究

植物叶片的非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)不仅可以反应植物的碳供应状况,也能反应植物对外界环境的适应策略。利用传统的蒽酮比色法测定了东北3个典型森林生态系统(呼中、凉水和长白山)242种常见植物叶片的非结构碳水化合物,探讨了温带主要森林植物叶片NSC沿纬度梯度的变化趋势及其在物种-生活型-群落间的分布规律。实验结果表明:3个典型森林生态系统植物叶片可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC含量均呈偏正态分布,多数物种的含量偏中低水平;242种植物叶片可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC的平均含量分别为63.31、65.66和128.96 mg/g。在所调查的森林生态系统中,叶片可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC含量在不同生活型中表现各异。此外,乔木植物叶片的可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC含量从北到南呈递增趋势,呼中最低,凉水次之,长白山最高。乔木淀粉含量均表现为落叶树种大于常绿树种,可溶性糖和NSC含量变化趋势复杂。研究结果不仅为阐明东北主要森林生态系统植被碳代谢和生长适应对策提供数据基础,而且对理解植物对未来气候变化的响应机理提供数据支撑。     

Non-structural carbohydrate accumulation and use in an understorey rain-forest shrub and relevance for the impact of leaf herbivory

1. Piper arieianum, an evergreen, understorey shrub of lowland moist forests of Central and South America, exhibits marked seasonal variation in reproductive activity even though climatic variation is low at the study site. Despite a lack of climatic seasonality, previous experimental leaf removal suggested that carbohydrate accumulation is seasonal, occurring prior to flowering.
2. We first tested the hypothesis that carbohydrates necessary for reproduction are accumulated prior to flowering, rather than during or after. By measuring non-structural carbohydrate production in the form of glucose and starch we found that the concentration of these reserves is greatest 1–3months before flowering, decreasing by 50% during peak fruit maturation.
3. The hypothesis that reproduction was the cause of this decrease in carbohydrate reserves was then tested by comparing reserves in plants that were prevented from flowering with those that flowered and produced fruit naturally. As predicted, reserves declined more in flowering than in non-flowering plants. A smaller decline in reserves of non-flowering plants was accompanied by greater stem and leaf production, suggesting that stored carbohydrates are also required for growth.
4. Because concentrations of non-structural carbohydrates were similar in roots, stems and leaves, and because the greatest amount of plant biomass is in stems for plants of a range of sizes, stems appear to be the main storage site of carbohydrate reserves in this plant species.
5. These results, together with previous studies, demonstrate that the impact of leaf herbivory on seed production in P. arieianum depends on the timing of that herbivory relative to the accumulation and use of non-structural carbohydrates.     

Quantitative trait loci for sucrose, starch, and hexose accumulation before heading in rice.

We studied the storage of sucrose, starch, and hexose before heading in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants by quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis with a population of backcross inbred lines (BILs) of japonica cv. Nipponbare x indica cv. Kasalath. Carbohydrates are accumulated in the rice plant before heading and are translated to the panicle after heading. A higher capacity for accumulation is thus a main target for improvement in yield. The form of carbohydrate (sucrose, starch, or hexose) differs depending on the organ in which it is stored. There was no correlation between starch and sucrose or hexose contents in BILs, and the positions of QTLs controlling starch differed from those for sucrose and hexose accumulation. These results suggest that the genetic control of accumulation differs between starch and sugars. QTLs that control the ratio of sucrose to starch content were detected, suggesting the existence of a mechanism(s) that determines this ratio. On chromosome 1, sucrose-phosphate synthase 1, the key enzyme in sucrose synthesis was close to the peaks of the likelihood odds ratios in QTLs for sucrose or hexose content. These results suggest that SPS1 is related to conversion of carbohydrate to sucrose as accumulated form in a plant before heading.     

植物水淹适应与碳水化合物的相关性

水淹会对陆生植物存活造成本质影响, 特别是完全水淹对陆生植物的影响更为明显。水淹对陆生植物最为主要的影响是氧气不足, 这主要是由氧气在水中的扩散速率较低引起的。同时, 在水淹胁迫下植物对光和CO₂的获取都会受到限制。所有这些因素都将引起植物生物量减少, 最终导致受淹植物死亡。碳水化合物是植物的能量来源, 与植物在水淹胁迫下存活与否有着密切联系。植物水淹适应性与碳水化合物的相关性主要体现在两大方面: 在生理形态层面, 植物通过伸长生长或抑制伸长生长、地上和地下部分碳水化合物的分配比例不同来应对水淹胁迫; 在另一个层面, 植物通过改变激素、酶和基因的表达, 调整碳水化合物的代谢方式, 从而适应水淹环境。该文结合国内外研究现状, 通过对植物在水淹胁迫下生理形态、激素、酶及基因表达诸方面的变化来认识水淹耐受性与碳水化合物的关系, 并就今后的研究方向提出几点建议。     

环境条件对植物稳定碳同位素组成的影响

植物稳定碳同位素技术是近年兴起的一项快速、可靠的技术。利用稳定碳同位素技术可以揭示碳同化的过程的许多方面的信息。1 3C和1 2 C同位素效应 ,使它们在进行碳循环时发生稳定碳同位素的分馏。植物光合作用过程中CO2 经气孔扩散分差和RUBPCase及PEPCase羧化分馏是造成植物稳定碳同位素比率 (R =1 3C/ 1 2 C)不同于源CO2 中碳同位素比率的主要原因。遗传因素和环境因子同时决定植物碳同位素组成。植物稳定碳同位素技术同时还是古气候重建和预测未来环境变化的理论基础。本文综述了光照、温度、水分、二氧化碳、矿质营养、盐分和大气污染物等环境因素对植物稳定碳同位素组成影响方面的研究进展。     

Nutrient reserves in roots of fruit trees,in particular carbohydrates and nitrogen

Summary In trees, nutrient reserves built up in the previous year are of primary importance for early spring growth. Despite the relatively great importance of roots for nutrient storage, the root system should not be regarded as a special storage organ. Quantitatively, carbohydrates predominate in these reserves, but qualitatively N and other minerals are of more than minor significance. In roots carbohydrates are usually stored in insoluble form, mainly as starch; sorbitol is the predominant soluble compound in apple and peach. For nitrogen reserves, the soluble form predominates in roots, especially arginine in apple and peach, followed by asparagine. The level of reserves usually becomes maximal early in the winter. During leafing-out the reserves are drawn on until, later in the season, the supply of newly produced or absorbed nutrients exceeds the demand and replenishment occurs. The initial carbohydrate reserves do not determine the amount of new growth, whereas reserve nitrogen is of decisive importance for shoot growth vigour. Environmental factors such as light intensity and temperature affect the level of carbohydrates in roots; the concentration can be reduced by defoliation and summer pruning and increased by ample supply of nitrogen fertilizer in the autumn. The main cultural factors that influence nitrogen reserves are the amount and the time of nitrogen fertilization.     

植物体内糖分子的长距离运输及其分子机制
